Truck is a 2018 4WD dually Aisin with a grand total of 33k.
In March, 2021 the dealer replaced a part "Actuator-Axle Locker" under warranty. Truck had 22,100 miles at that time. The 4WD feature was never really used from March, 2021 until March, 2023. I did engage it a couple times and drove a truck length or so since I have heard it is a good idea to do so and lubricate everything.
In March.2023 I received the Service 4WD message. Dealer has replaced the same part but this time it is my nickel to the tune of almost $700.
What are the odds that a "Actuator-Axle Locker" part will fail not once but twice in about 11K miles when the system was not really used?
Any experience with this issue.
Kinda looks like I get to look forward to purchasing an expensive part every 11k when I do not even use the 4WD system
